Usually not.

Fetching and inserting images is a huge slow-down.  I've been using shr
to read blogs for years, and the images sometimes arrive, and sometimes
they don't.

Hm.  I didn't know about that one, but it seems promising.  However,
images are displayed thusly:

    (add-text-properties start (point)
                         `(display ,(if slice
                                        (list (cons 'slice slice) image)
                                      image) rear-nonsticky (display)))))

Can `display' have both an image and a `space' spec?

Yeah, that makes sense.
